He stared about him with the terror of a cornered animal. Then he ran. Through the door he crashed, out into the Yard, across the Square, unmindful of cars, and into a hardware store.

Jacques, matured and forceful, is a respected leader in a colony of revolutionists in Switzerland. He has decided that what he wants is a part in a revolutionary world change, but his soul is still troubled. He has a consuming pity for the mass of men, a great contempt for their rulers, but he lacks a blind faith in revolutionary slogans and formulas, and worse...
